How you use it

Commuting, business or pleasure, and how far you drive.

Who drives it

Other drivers on the policy, and their age and history.

Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

Is car insurance compulsory?

Yes, in every province and territory you need at least basic auto insurance, including third-party liability for injury and damage you cause to others. The minimum amounts and what else is included differ by province, and many people choose a much higher liability limit than the minimum.

Who provides it where I live?

In British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, basic auto insurance is provided by a public insurer, with private insurers offering optional extra coverage. In Quebec, the public plan covers injuries, and private insurers cover the vehicle and liability. In the rest of Canada, private insurers provide the basic coverage too.

What are the main types of coverage?

Liability covers damage and injury you cause to others. Accident benefits cover your own medical costs and some lost income. Collision covers damage to your car from an accident. Comprehensive covers other damage, such as theft, fire, vandalism and hitting an animal. Compare what is included and what isn't.

What is a deductible?

It is the amount you pay towards a claim before the insurer pays the rest. You can often choose a higher one to lower the premium, so make sure you could afford to pay it. Some coverages, such as liability, have no deductible.

What affects the price?

Your age, driving record and claims history, where you live, the car, how far you drive, how it is used, and who else drives it. Be accurate with every answer. Wrong or missing information can lead to a claim being reduced or refused, or the policy being cancelled.

Will winter tires or a tracking device lower my price?

Some insurers give discounts for winter tires, and in Quebec winter tires are required in winter. Some also offer usage-based programs that track how you drive in return for a discount. Ask what a program tracks, how it is used and whether it could raise your price.

What extras can I add?

Common ones are a rental car after a claim, loss of use, roadside assistance, accident forgiveness and coverage for a new car's full value in the first years. Each has limits, so ask what is and isn't included.

Should I pay monthly or annually?

Monthly payments are convenient, but they can cost more over the year than paying upfront. Ask for the total cost of each, and whether a fee applies.

Can I change my mind after I buy?

You can usually cancel, but the rules differ by province, and the insurer may charge a fee or refund less than the unused part of the premium. Ask what cancelling would cost before you buy, and read your policy.

What if something goes wrong with a claim?

Complain to the insurer first. If you're not happy with the answer, you can take it to an independent complaints service, such as the General Insurance OmbudService, or in Quebec the Autorité des marchés financiers, or in British Columbia, Saskatchewan or Manitoba, the public insurer's own review process. These services are free to use.

What should I have ready?

The car's make, model and year or vehicle identification number, your driver's licence details, your claims history, when your current policy renews and your postal code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.
